Solo&period; I parked at roadside parking above Faseny Cottage&period; Followed the track that goes down towards Faseny Cottage and across a footbridge over Faseny Water&period; Followed the track towards Little Says Law&period; This is a substantial track as far as a track junction&comma; then becomes a rough track&comma; little used&period; From there I followed a fence to the summit of Meikle Says Law&period; The boundary between the historic counties of Berwickshire and Haddingtonshire &lpar;later called East Lothian&rpar; runs near or not far from the fence&period; From trig point climbed over a gate to go south to the highest point of the historic county of Berwickshire&period; On return used a substantial track that descends from the summit of Meikle Says Law to the glen of Faseny Water&period; It had been misty almost all the time on the walk&comma; but began clearing up towards the end&period; No precipitation&period;

Standard route from above Faseny Cottage up Dun Side&period; Slightly wet feet at the ford&comma; couldn't be bothered to detour to the footbridge&period; The track gets progressively muddier and fainter and then becomes a barely visible path&period; Came off slightly too far east in the clag and had to contour round&period; Three mountain hares seen&comma; white underneath&comma; grey&sol;brown on top&semi; I didn't know they were present in the Southern Uplands&period;

The standard route from Faseny&comma; but what a challenge today&comma; in deep snow&period; Quite hard driving up the hill to the starting point &lpar;most cars didn't make it&rpar;&comma; and amazed to be able to park &lpar;the snow plough had shoved the snow away from the parking place somehow&rpar;&period; Easy going on the track at first&comma; degenerating into knee deep snow and deep drifts&period; Never mind&comma; it's good for me&comma; and it was very&comma; very pretty&period;

With Steve Smith&period; Roadside parking on minor road to NE&comma; at access track for Fasney Cottage&period; Track most of the way&comma; becoming fainter&comma; then non-existent&comma; then over easy heather&period;

Parked at 613637 at gate to the modernised Faseny Cottage&period; Easily over the Faseny Water &lpar;new bridge down stream if required&rpar; and then up track to summit via Dun Side&period; Lots of hares near the top on this well managed grouse farm&period; This approach avoids the wind farm as much as possible&period; Could cycle all the way via track up Faseny water&period;

From NT613637 where there is good parking&period; Followed tracks up Dun Side to reach summit&period; Returned same way

Reached this top from the lay by opposite Faseny cottage on the minor road between Gifford and Longformacus&comma; this 6&period;5 mile walk with 270m of climb can be found in Jonny Muir's book of UK County tops and took me all day as I climbed Meikle Law instead which can be reached from the same road and the locals don't seem to know there are two hills of virtually the same name&excl;

From Fasney Cottage&comma; used the track all the way to the summit following Fansey burn&period;&period;&period;return over the moor to alternative track and as previous posts tricky to find on upper section&period; Great views albeit the Eildons blocked by the wind farm to the south&period; With Suzanne

From Faseny&comma; we followed the track &lpar;almost a road&rpar; along Faseny Water and all the way to the summit&period; Then we had trouble finding the track &lpar;not a road&rpar; back down to the north-east&comma; but in clear dry conditions it wasn't an issue&period; Route-finding might have been easier in reverse&period;

Parked at gate above Faseny Cottage and followed good track almost to the top&period; Harder finding it on the way back&comma; even on a beautiful clear day&period;

Lay-by opposite track to Faseny – Drop down & ford Faseny Water – Track up ENE ridge & then across trackless moor to summit of Meikle Says Law&period; Also did Meikle Says Law south shoulder - Berwickshire's County Top&period; &lpar;PM&rpar;

W Jenx&comma; from road above Fasey cott&period; As Jimbob and others&comma; take ford then direct track up hill&period; New road becomes moor landrover trail&comma; then path and above 450m nothing but heather for 200m&period; Path re-emerges leads to trig and over fence to second county top&period;

Parked at the end of the road at East Hopes&period;
&NewLine;Trudged uphill over the heather moors to finally intercept and take the track to the top&period;
&NewLine;Was shouted at from a distance to "get off" from the farm workers - these boring moors are for grouse&period;

Lovely day on Easter weekend&period; Came up here for the trig and County tops but couldn't resist nabbing the cache as well despite not having a GPS or Compass its easy enough to fix the direction using the map and pace it out&period;
